Panebasa
The music Pane Basa consists of layers of mbira lines and tightly woven cello melodies, punctuated by percussive grooves, poems, songs and electronic effects. These elements are smoothly blended to create a fresh new sound.
The band draws inspiration from the traditional and contemporary musics from Zimbabwe, South Africa and other neighbouring countries as well as classical, minimal and electronic impulses from their vibrant home base of Berlin. Their compositions take you on a journey through forgotten dreamscapes, making you want to dance, daydream, reflect and get lost in their groovy melodies.
Musicians:
Joe Weinberg (RSA) – Mbira
Lineker Mpunzi (ZIM) – Mbira, poetry
Tsepo Kolitsoe Pooe (RSA) – Cello
feat. Dudu Kouate (SEN) - Percussion
